Cobie: Coinbase has long distanced from encrypted original users

On 19 July, KOL Rune asked Cobie, the head of the Coinbase trade product, how Base App planned to attract chain users after the trust in the Base ecosystem had been damaged.

He stated that Coinbase had long been distant from the encrypted original users and that Coinbase and Base had seriously eroded user trust through a series of avoidable errors, including today ' s event.

SpaceX is negotiating billions of dollars in defense contracts with the Pentagon

SpaceX is negotiating a multi-billion-dollar defence contract with the Pentagon, which could help to validate its huge investment in artificial intelligence (AI). According to the Wall Street Journal, the terms of the agreement have not yet been confirmed by the Pentagon or SpaceX, but the Ministry of Defence will be able to use SpaceX ' s data centre to run the AI model if this is achieved. This may make SpaceX one of the cloud computing providers supporting the Pentagon AI operation.

Elizabeth Warren asked Trump to disclose the encrypted currency holdout within a week

ON 19 JULY, SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN REQUESTED PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP TO VOLUNTARILY DISCLOSE HIS ENCRYPTED MONEY PROCEEDS AND HOLDOUT FROM 1 JANUARY TO 15 JULY AND TO PROVIDE HIM WITH A DEADLINE OF 23 JULY. IN A LETTER DATED 16 JULY, SENIOR MEMBERS OF THE SENATE BANKING COMMISSION ARGUED THAT CONGRESS COULD NOT FAIRLY DEBATE ENCRYPTED CURRENCY LEGISLATION WHEN THE PRESIDENT DISCLOSED ONLY PARTIAL FINANCIAL EXPOSURE TO THE INDUSTRY. THIS REQUIREMENT COINCIDES WITH THE SENATE ' S CONSIDERATION OF THE CLATRITY BILL, WHICH WILL ESTABLISH A COMPREHENSIVE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR THE DIGITAL ASSET MARKET BY DEFINING WHICH ASSETS FALL UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE SEC OR THE CTC AND BY ESTABLISHING CLEARER RULES FOR EXCHANGE AND TOKEN ISSUERS. WARREN BELIEVES THAT LEGISLATORS NEED TO BE KEPT UP TO DATE ON THE BENEFITS OF THE TURKISH ENCRYPTED CURRENCY BEFORE MOVING FORWARD WITH LEGISLATION THAT MAY HAVE A DIRECT IMPACT ON THESE HOLDABLE VALUES. ACCORDING TO WARREN, THE CONCERNS ARE NOT JUST THAT THE PRESIDENT OWNS THE DIGITAL ASSETS, BUT THAT THE LEGISLATION CURRENTLY BEFORE CONGRESS MAY SUBSTANTIALLY BENEFIT THE PRESIDENT-RELATED BUSINESSES AND INVESTMENTS, WHICH ARE ONLY PARTIALLY DISCLOSED。

Survey: 84 per cent of financial institutions made asset monetization a strategic priority

On 19 July, an updated survey by the service provider Broadridge showed that 84 per cent of financial institutions had identified asset monetization as a strategic priority and that the vast majority of institutions believed that the technology would reshape the financial market within five years. The survey, which targeted 200 North American financial service executives, showed that the financial sector was moving from the experimental phase of block chain technology to actual deployment, to simplify settlement processes, reduce operating costs and support round-the-clock transactions by converting real-world assets such as equities, bonds, funds and real estate into digital chain tokens. Broadridge notes that, despite industry enthusiasm, these companies generally tend to allow digital assets to coexist with traditional assets, 92 per cent of respondents expect the two to coexist in the foreseeable future, and 69 per cent of institutions plan to integrate monetize technologies into existing infrastructure rather than build independent chain systems。

OnchainLens: Thinking about memecoin culture

OnchainLens stated that the current market accusations against Jesse, Brian and Coinbase ignored the deeper issue of memecoin culture. No one wants to hold or build, but only to profit from the next buyer. When markets collapse because of speculative, worthless memecoin, people always look for scapegoats. While speculation is not wrong in itself, the problem is that this cultural incentive is extracted rather than created, and every new buyer is seen as being out of liquidity. To address this problem, it is necessary to improve culture, build practicality, promote DeFi and bring more real assets up the chain。
